The Teacher

John has over the past 20 years taught brass instruments at various schools, camps and institutes on a casual basis.

Most recently in 2016 he accepted a regular part time position at the Sunshine Coast Grammar School, teaching the Grade 5 beginners, lower brass.

Now living in Queensland’s Sunshine Coast area, he has commenced his own private teaching studio in Maleny. Services offered will be for all brass instruments from beginners to advanced performers. From 1 to 1 private lessons on a regular basis to one off “coaching” sessions when needed.

Current lesson times are on Monday and Wednesday 3:00 to 5:00 pm. 1/2 or 1 hour sessions available. The studio is located in the downstairs room of the Maleny RSL Hall, Lawyer Street, Maleny.

John’s main teaching focus is on sound, breathing and performing in a relaxed and enjoyable manner. If you are studying for any music exams, this focus will help you enjoy preparing for what can be a bit of a stressful situation.

John is also available for workshops, from brass groups to school and community bands.
